Найти книгу: "A Commonplace Book of Pie"

This is the book version of Lebo's popular zine of the same name (2,000 copies sold). The zine has proven especially popular at Elliott Bay Books and Prairie Lights. Lebo won the Joan Grayston Prize for new poets and a Nelson Bentley Fellowship at the University of Washington in 2012. Poet Heather McHugh calls A Commonplace Books of Pie “not so much the secret’s telling as the telling secret.” Lebo was a pie judge at the 2011 Iowa State Fair. She hopes to be back in 2013. Her work appeared in Best New Poets 2011, published by University of Virginia Press. Lebo writes about food on her blog pie-school.com. She has been featured in the Seattle media (Seattle Weekly, local NPR affiliate KUOW) several times for both her pie-baking and her poetry. Local NBC affiliate King 5 has filmed and will air sometime in early 2013 a segment about Kate Lebo as Seattle's «pie poet.» Genre- and cliche-busting book will feature 25 original 4-color paintings by Jessica Lynn Bonin. Both Bonin and Lebo are feminists steeped in DIY culture. Lebo promises to bake and/or bring pie to bookstore events whenever possible. Booksellers get the first slice.

"Here is a human being speaking with calm and sanity out of the wilderness. We would do well to hear him." — The Washington Post Book World The Art of the Commonplace gathers twenty essays by Wendell Berry that offer an agrarian alternative to our dominant urban culture. Grouped around five themes—an agrarian critique of culture, agrarian fundamentals, agrarian economics, agrarian religion, and geobiography—these essays promote a clearly defined and compelling vision important to all people dissatisfied with the stress, anxiety, disease, and destructiveness of contemporary American culture. Why is agriculture becoming culturally irrelevant, and at what cost? What are the forces of social disintegration and how might they be reversed? How might men and women live together in ways that benefit both? And, how does the corporate takeover of social institutions and economic practices contribute to the destruction of human and natural environments? Through his staunch support of local economies, his defense of farming communities, and his call for family integrity, Berry emerges as the champion of responsibilities and priorities that serve the health, vitality and happiness of the whole community of creation.
